Clearest part of travis...

[SCUBARACER]

anyone know the clearest part of Travis to dive?

I'm not so much looking for depth or even anything much to see, just clarity.

thanks

Dove Mansfield 1 week ago 15 - 20 ft vis

Dove Devils Cove Tues. 5 - 8 ft vis

I haven't been to Windy point this year, but the clarity also has to do with the lake upwellings, also the wind, rain, current, lake traffic, and weather or not other divers are in the area.

Jeff,
Where is Devils Cove? My diveclub has an outing at Mansfield Damn next weekend.

Dove Hippie Hollow this weekend it was too clear below and above the surface if you know what I mean Disco is alive and well. :dazzler1:

Devils Cove (or Hollow, depends on which map you see), is where everyone goes to party, lots of boats, not a safe place to dive when the boats are in there. I usually dive it during the week when no one is out there, provided I have a boat to get there. I have seen really good vis there in the past, lots of beer cans to clean up every time I'm there.
Here is a map I found on the www.deepbluescuba.com website of lower lake travis and some dive sites, see the attachment or go to there site for more information.

I dive on the boat every weekend. It's my backyard playground, but we've had good vis lately. The lake's turning fast, so the vis will also. Deep Blue Scuba. But you have your scuba machine now, so our pontoon boat might not have enough umph for you.
You're always welcome. I would like to dive with you and your wife.

Usually the clearest part of Lake Travis is around Starnes Island and is IMHO the best diving on Lake Travis. The island is in the lake between Lake Travis Lodges and Volente Beach. You need a boat to get there.

When did you get on here?

I didn't know you were on here yet.. and I'm not married YET.

My SCUBA machine didn't work out for me, so instead it's been replaced with a Baja 33" Outlaw Cigar boat.

But I will take you up on your offer on that pontoon boat!
